Have you ever made shadow animals against a wall? It’s funny how sometimes just the shape of the hand looks just like an animal! Artist Guido Daniele has also noticed that and has taken the art of hand animal mimicry to a whole new level…

Guido Daniele developed this body painting technique while working in advertising. But skills like this are something you are born with (my opinion).

Iguana Hand Painting

9 – Iguana

From reptiles to birds to mammals. The artist also does coral reefs, plants and even trees and windmills all made from paint and hands!

Parrot Hand Painting

You will soon notice how it is hard to work out where the fingers lay under the painting sometimes. But I promise you that is all these images are. hands and paint, nothing more.

Elephant Hand Painting

There are times like this Elephant when the natural cracks in the skin seem to add to the realism of the painting.

Dolphin Hand Painting

Some of these hyper-realistic hand painting illusions seem almost 3 dimensional.

Dog Hand Painting

I love that the artist calls these “Handimals” it sounds like something a TV show would be called.

Snake Hand Painting

It’s not just the artists painting talent that makes these animals look so realistic, it is also about the positions of the hands and fingers.

Duck Hand Painting

This is a lot better than when I do a hand impression of a duck. But I also make a pretty convincing duck noise as well.

Clownfish Hand Painting

It seems finding Nemo is as simple as knowing the back of your own hand!

Zebra Hand Painting

From now on you might never look at those silly hand shadow animals the same way.
